MirageJS openAPI Generator

What is it?

MirageJS is an API mocking library that lets you build, test and share a complete working JavaScript application without having to rely on any backend services.

People use mirage to develop locally when their server is not done/not finished so they can do all the normal work as if they're working with a real API but they're going against mirage. It provides an in memory database that enables to CRUD features while simulating the behaviour of the server, all in the client.

In the last couple of months, we noticed that some of the problems people had adding mirage to the problem were mostly around all the boilerplate that it is needing to get the project working with it. Even though it can be added incrementally for only a part of the endpoints, having mirage simulating all the endpoints adds even more value.

How does it relates with open API?

We've started this miragejs-open-api that is a generator of mirage code based on the openAPI standard, it is still a work in progress but it looks like we can do interesting stuff with it and we're putting effort in.

@wing328 reached out to me and I now believe that it could fit as an open API generator, would like to hear your feedback.

Does it make sense? Does it not? What needs to be done in order to get a fully compliant open api generator?

Excited to hear from you

Start by reviewing the linked miragejs-open-api project and the OpenAPI standard. No repository files, tests, or entry points are named; done would require a defined scope for integrating or evaluating a fully compliant MirageJS generator.
